Cultural JWs

following a comment by sapphy on another thread on cultural jws, it got me thinking about my circle of 30 something jw friends.. they fall into roughly two groups.

couples without kids, couples with kids.. the couples without kids are the most interesting.

they're mainly career types, but with one foot firmly in jw land.

so, i have it on very good authority that a co has recently been disfellowshipped in the uk.

he has just finished serving the north west london area.

i don't know any details but perhaps there is someone who does know what happened.

Jws and urban myths!

by Julia Orwell in

jws sure love urban myths.

the jws have their own collection built up over many years, part of their own unique worldwide jw culture.

i've come across the same ones in america that i've heard in australia, and they pass from legend to myth and finally reality as quoted from the platform.

Quite a few JW urban myths are shared by the Mormons. The serial killer householder for example http://www.holyfetch.com/legends/3nephites_killer.html

This is so difficult

so i woke up a few months ago and had no idea what to expect.

at first i was outraged that i had been lied to all these years and so sad that i lost so many years of my life to a cult.

in the past couple of weeks though, i've actually been having second thoughts.

I was in the same position, our children were at the similar stage where they were expected to answer up/join the ministry school. PM me if you want to talk some more, the are parts of my story that are too identifiable to discuss on the forum.

I was once in the exact same position. I tried to absorb all the pain myself and it took me right to the edge of sanity. You can't walk that line without there being consequences. Sometimes I wish I could have continued to carry that burden, the repercussions on my family have been way worse than anything I endured. Of course, hindsight is a wonderful thing.
